If only the answer to all our problems was: BEER.

In an attempt to make friends, freshman Rep. Joe Cunningham (D-S.C.) tried to bring a six-pack of beer onto the House floor just before noon on Friday. Politico reporter Laura Barrón-López spotted him in the act. Unfortunately the powers that be stopped him.

“It’s Friday too,” the reporter quoted him, adding that he was “laughing as he turned around.”

Making friends when you’re a freshman is hard and I thought I’d grease the skids with some Lowcountry beer. Thankfully @RepPeterDeFazio got it in the end! Can I join the beer caucus now? https://t.co/RtW6InDfTK
